Over shopped?

Shop, like, buy... Especially when you are away on a holiday and you have to make a decision on the spot whether to buy or not. In the end, to prevent regretting not getting what we like, we end up buying more than what we need!

Like many shoppers, i believe many of you face the same situations below:
1) Bought too many things and you do not need them all
2) Have many brand new things laying around that are not used, bought on impulse!
3) Accumulation of things over the years and some are only wore once or twice
4) Growing out of your sizes
5) Buying clothes that are not your size, believing that you will fit them one day!

Honestly, i fall into almost all of the above! I can relate to how you are feeling now because i am facing the exact same situation and thoughts are running through your mind:
"They are still brand new, i can't bear to give them away"
"Maybe i can really fit into them soon!"
"What if the fashion comes back?"
"I really love this dress/top even though i cannot fit into them"
"I only wore this twice, so wasted to just give it away"

With all these thoughts running constantly through your mind as you go through every piece of item in your closet, you will never be able to pack out anything! But once a wise man said, whatever you did not use for the past one year, you probably will not do it again~

Don't know what to do with the items that are still brand new or once wore once or twice, in perfectly new condition? Shopper's Mind is planning to start a Shopper's Mind Store to help you get rid of these items but at the same time, do good! Stay tune for more information! But meanwhile, pack your closet and take nice photos of these items!

Wait, No More!

Tried walking up and down the stalls again and again to look at the same item? To realized that it is sold the time that you went there for the last time to purchase it?

Many times we try to control our spending by walking up and down the streets, round and round the malls, the same day, the day after. Telling ourselves "maybe we don't need it?", "i will come back for it another day!" or "maybe next month then buy".

Looking back at all the 'lost opportunities', i have learnt. There are somethings that if we cannot decide at that moment, maybe we don't really need it or want it. But if you still think of it after walking around, we should not hesitate to go back for it!

One way to make sure you don't miss it, is to walk around window shopping. Set aside 30 minutes of the time you have before you plan to go off, to walk back to all the shops to get the things that is still on your mind. You will realize that almost 50-60% of the items you 'Keep.In.View' earlier are no longer on your mind and there are this 30-40% of the items that are still constantly recording in your memories. The right thing to do is to then evaluate the amount of money you have, whether they are within your budget. If not, get only the first few items that still comes to your mind despite all. You will realize that, you never regret getting them! In fact, you will be glad that you did!

Wait No More! I know that feeling because i am a shopper too!
